BAPTIST STUDENT UNION
(Continued from page one)
By Betsy Cannady
Did you see “Darkness At
Noon?” This play, adapted by
Sidney Kingsley from the nov
el written by Arthur Koestler,
was presented by the Raleigh
Little Theatre. The girls \vho
saw the play were favorably im
pressed. Those of you who at
tended the first meeting of the
Meredith Little Theatre will re
member that Miss Mayes gave
us a preview of “Darkness At
Noon.” The play is the story of
the fight between those men
who began the revolution in
Russia and those who have
adopted the new ideas of Com
munism.
On October 9, the Little The
atre held its first meeting of
the year. We were delighted to
have a number of freshmen
present, and to find so many of
the old students showing an
interest in dramatics this year.
We are sure that there will be a
place for all of you in our work.
SENIORS ELECT
SUPERLATIVES
I guess that by now all of you
know that we’re doing “Take
Care of My Little Girl” as the
fall production of the Little The
atre. Some of you have seen the
movie by the same name star
ring Jeanne Crain. We will have
to build two new flats and
French doors for the set, and
a lot of you will be needed to
help. Just see Miss Mayes and
offer your services. When pro
duction time comes, you will
be needed to help with make
up, costumes, etc. There’s a job
for anyone interested in show
business.
November 16 and 17 are the
dates for the fall show. We hope
that all the students will find
entertainment with us on those
nights. See you at the play.

The Senior Class, of which Dot
Fisher is president, met October
24 in the rotunda to elect their
class superlatives and make
plans for Polio. j
After names were suggested
the seniors cast their ballots.
Marie Edwards captured the po
sition of Miss Meredith; Betty
Jo Smith was chosen Most Popu
lar; Mary Evelyn Brown, Friend
liest; Jane Slate, Most Versatile;
Barbara Bone, Wittiest; Jean
Miller, Most Intellectual; Sue
Fitzgerald, Most Athletic; Dot
Fisher, Most Attractive; Anne
Creech, Cutest; Sally Massey,
Most Original; and Barbara Bal-
lenger was Chosen as the Best
All ’Round Town Student.
In a discussion, led by vice-
president Ruth Ann Simmons,
plans were made for Polio and
suggestions were made for the
girls to be chosen to go in Who’s
Who.
If you were walking down the
hall of first Jones while the
“Oak Leaves” class pictures
were being taken, all sorts of
fantastic noises greeted your
ears.
The most outstanding noise to
you would be the male voice
heard above the click of his
camera. “Tilt your head just a
little, darling. Thank you very
much, precious. Did anyone ever
tell you that your facial bone
structure is just like Katherine
Hepburn’s? Come back again,
sweetheart.” It really did boost
our ego, didn’t it, girls? That’s
probably one of the photograph
er’s top trade secrets.
Walking on a little farther,
you probably would have heard
the sound of falling hair, for
Barbara Bone and Jane Slate
were tearing their’s out—strand
by strand. ’The reasons?
During the election, Betty
Jo Smith sang “Because.”

“Oh, does my hair look just
right?”
“I knew I shouldn’t have
worn this make-up. I’ll prob
ably look ghastly under that
light.”
“No, I would not take off
my glasses if I were cross-eyed
without them.”
“Don’t you think I have a pro
file like Ethel Barrymore’s?”
“I don’t see why we have to
wear white sweaters, I look so
much better in red.”
And so on and on and on. Last
minute dashes for mirrors,
pearls, lip sticks, combs, and
the like. All through the day—
Walking on a little farther,
you would hear Salty telling the
other girls to go on ahead of
her. She was afraid that after
her picture, the camera just
wouldn’t work anymore.
Weaving your way down to
the end of the dorm, you would
probably still have heard above
the din made by many Mere
dith gals, “You have the love
liest hair, precious. Such a won
derful shade of red. Did I tell
you that I was once in love with
a redhead? That’s all, darling.
Phido decided the other day
to visit some of the new Phis
and get to know them a little
better. He really did enjoy his
visits and was so out of breath
with excitement and news that
I could hardly understand what
he was trying to tell me.
In the course of the conver
sation, he usually got around
to the question of “Why did
you choose to join the Phis?”
Phido received many answers,
but most of them could be
summed up in the answers of a
few. “I joined the Phis because
they are so friendly and help
ful,” said one new student,
like the motto for which it
stands,” said another. Still an
other said, “I got about eight
letters from Phis during the
summer and I felt as if I already
knew some, of them before
even came to Meredith.”
We are all very glad that you
did choose the Phis and we
thank you for the great chal
lenge you have given us to live
up to now. We know that you
will help us to carry on the
friendly spirit of the Phis.
Phido asked me to please say,
“Congratulations to Barbara
Byrd upon being elected the
freshman marshal the other
night. We can see that you have
already made many new friends
by your friendly Phi spirit.”
Phido also wishes to congrat
ulate Lynette Adcock upon be
ing elected chief marshal.
He also wishes to say, “Best
wishes for a speedy recovery” to
Betty Wells, whohas just had her
appendix out. “Please get well
soon so you can take part in all
the activities we have planned
for this year. You must get well
quickly so you can go to the big
square dance the Phis and As
tros are having in November. It
sounds like lots of fun and we
surely don’t want you to have
to miss it.”
That goes for all the Phis and’
Astros, too. Let’s all go and have
a wonderful time together.
STAR STORIES
Decision Day is history now,
and it is slowly being tucked
away in a corner of everybody s
mind. The part that will not be
forgotten about it is the won
derful group of new members
that each society received. With
in the heart of every Astro lies
the fact that our new girls are
a grand group, and we are justly
proud of them. To all you new
comers, Mother Astro and the
society itself extend a hearty
welcome and best wishes for
every success!
This coming year promises
to be a big one for the Astro-
tekton Society. With such lead
ers as Barney Schettler, Adele
Buening, Celia Wells, Miriam
Allen, Charleen Swanzy, and
Jackie Creef, it can be nothing
else! The first function of the
year, a slumber party in the
hqt on October 20, was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.
The girls started coming at
11:00 p.m. Saturday night, and
the fun continued until Sunday
morning. Maybe that’s why
so many girls took church cuts
last Sunday! All of the Astros
are looking forward to other
such parties throughout the
year.
Everyone is talking about
wanting little stuffed goats, our
Astro mascots. Plans are being
formulated for selling these on
campus, through either the Bee
Hive or the Astrotekton Society.
Watch this column for fur
ther details about where to buy
a Billy Astro for your very own.
